"THE LONG RAIN is an instantly compelling and believable tale." --THE DETROIT FREE PRESS
"THE LONG RAIN, with swift finesse, collapses several thriller genres into one...[It yields] surprise upon satisfying surprise." --BALTIMORE SUN
"Pulls the reader along with the dark and brooding presence of its narrator...A satisfying book and one that transports readers to a place they might really go." --PORTLAND OREGONIAN
"A novel of riveting suspense...A rare treat that will appeal to readers of many genres. It will satisfy those who love suspense thrillers and will not disappoint those who savor the craft of fine fiction." --FT. LAUDERDALE SUN-SENTINEL
"Delivers plenty of action...Gadol is a gifted writer." --SAN FRANCISO CHRONICLE
"Spellbinding...you will find yourself eagerly turning pages." --THE SANTA ROSA PRESS DEMOCRAT
"THE LONG RAIN is a mature book: carefully written, painstakingly plotted and a joy to read. Once wishes that more contemporary writers would take the care that Gadol has taken in writing THE LONG RAIN, presenting the reader with a coherent philosophy with which to agree or disagree and a memorable story which makes one think." --THE GRAND RAPIDS PRESS
"A beautifully written, richly atmospheric novel." --Jennifer Egan, author of THE INVISIBLE CIRCUS
"THE LONG RAIN is at once dark and radiant, moving and chilling. It tells a harsh story in seductive, irresistible prose; it explores the most universal human weaknesses by giving us all the particulars of a unique and mysterious world." --Michael Chabon
"Excellent characterization marks a novel which weaves a realistic, involving story." --THE MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW
"A heartfelt and engrossing story of moral failure and a quest for redemption-- [A] strongly imagined novel. What's fascinating-and impressive-is the degree to which Gadol forces our identification with its self-deceiving and deceitful protagonist: We're made to understand how he could have acted as he did, and to believe we ourselves might well have done the same." -KIRKUS REVIEWS (starred review)
"Gadol keeps the solutions to his hero's moral dilemmas surprisingly complex, which the backdrop of California's wine country keeps the tale, even at its grimmest, disarmingly idyllic." --PUBLISHERS WEEKLY (starred review)
"Absorbing and highly suspenseful." --LIBRARY JOURNAL
